Or it's someone running "AnalogX", an open proxy program that is popular in Brazil (among other places).
Who cares if their computer reboots/dies? If we're lucky, it will happen several times a day, and the user will go seek help to have AnalogX or whatever removed.
Aradune was very excited about the flaming swords in EQ - and yet, they were not attainable for some time, even after they said that the quests were fine over and over. It'd just be history repeating itself.
FreeBSD + Apache 1.3.x can easily do 500+ small requests per second on a pII-400 w/ 512MB of RAM. Add MySQL in to the mix, and with proper code (read: caching, so you don't hit MySQL every hit) it drops considerably, but it's still above the 50-100 hit/s range (if you do it well):)
Without full disclosure, what % of the routers out there would be patched right now? 10? Maybe.
It sounds to me like Cisco needs to get their genius engineers together to come up with a better way to distribute IOS images - one that does not involve e-mail, perhaps!
What the people did _was_ cool. They contacted Cisco a while back. Then they released the exploit almost *2 days* after the patch was announced.
Nice try bringing slavery in to this. That's rediculous.
"most harmful thing to it they could have possibly done." Please. Even if they released it 2 seconds before the patch was available, the Internet may have had instability for a day or two while Cisco ships out CDRs to everyone so they can fix it.
To those that choose full disclosure for security - I applaud you! I really appreciate having a program available that allows me to test if my systems are vulnerable and remain vulnerable post-patching.
So what's involved in becoming a Jedi? Is it attainable? With Sony's history, I'd have a really hard time believing that it works on release. Take a look at EQ's big quests - great idea, but they were broken for months or years even before they were fixed.
"The voting record of the U.S. Senate (the final vote before the USA PATRIOT Act, then called H.R. 3162, was passed and put on the President's desk) was tallied at 98 "YEA" votes, 1 "NAY" vote and one absentee. President Bush took less than one day to sign it into law. The single dissenting vote was Mr. Feingold (D-WI)."

So you're telling me that by re-electing ANYONE except Mr. Feingold that you are, as a citizen, telling the congressfolk that you are in support of the PATRIOT act?
Also, I really, really, really strongly doubt that 98% of the population was in support of the PATRIOT act, or continues to be in support of it. I'd doubt it even if every one of those senators are re-elected. The fact is that 98% of the population can't agree on *anything*.
How about this one - a better example of why our system has failed us. The DMCA was passed, in the House, by a voice vote (unfortunately I can only find references to this, but nothing that is an investigation into why it was a voice vote, etc. But it was.) It was done in such a way so that there was no possibility for accountability. If you're suggesting that all of the House members should then not be re-elected due to that, you're voting against those that said "Nay" as well. I don't know what it takes to force a vote to go on record, but it sounds like whatever it is failed.
Nice. So, how do I "vote" to have something like, say, the PATRIOT act repealed? I can vote for a congressman and senator, and maybe even a president who would be willing to do that. Does that translate into even a single vote against the PATRIOT act? Nope. Like you said, they're too busy worrying about other things, like getting re-elected, or getting others in their party elected, or paying back their campaign contributors.
It's one of my pet peeves when people play the "if you don't like it, vote!" card. We're a long ways and a few revolutionary wars away from having a government that allows people to vote on the majority of the issues that affect them.
The only way to stop pop-ups from being used on sites is for everyone to stop loading them. Try out Mozilla. It's quite effective at stopping the pop-ups you don't want, while letting you enable pop-ups you need for specific sites. Even if the pop-up plague does not stop, at least you won't see it.
The USPTO, as with most governmental agencies that collect money from the citizens, get only a small fraction of the funds they collect back from Congress. This is a fundamental flaw in almost every agency./. sees it the most with regards to the USPTO.
Time to get out there and vote to have that changed.
Well, yes, I agree witih you. But if I remember right, it was basically a governmental reorg, where several agencies (like the Coast Guard and border patrols for 2) were moved under the DHS umbrella.
Hear, hear. Co-op mode is one of those things that is almost always overlooked by game developers (and/or publishers), and the lack of it is one of the top reasons I purchase so few games.
First I've heard of that. I know you can tell them that you want $3 to go to the presidential campaign fund (which incidentally I said yes to, because I don't think campaigns should be privately funded the way they are now - I know, Dubya et al can just get around it by not accepting the $3..).
I'd sure like that, but an acceptable compromise would be to move the income taxation from the federal level to the state. Let the feds beg for appropriations for a change, and let the citizens get better representation (even though that in itself is flawed).
The general slashbot consensus is that you should just "go out and vote". Of course, you can't actually vote on this sort of thing, so the consensus is flawed - then again, it is/.:-)
Wasn't most of the DHS already around, and thus, already had desktops and software and all that garbage? Did they throw it all out instead of just installing a comparatively small set of computers and buying licenses for those?

There's no scarcity now - why would they stop charging once IPV6 comes out? It's not like ARINv6 won't charge the ISPs for the blocks they get.
What games won't work with NAT? Out of the last 50 or so networked Windows games I've played, none have had any trouble.

What's the C code that broke for no known reason? Let's get the ball rolling.

My mom doesn't have a dick - she's female. Are you retarded or something?
Is there a BitTorrent for the file in any other format?
I'm far less interested in the single player than I am in the engine and the tools it will come with to develop multiplayer mod/levels.
How do you feel about the word Machinima?
They're screwed. They have to pay up, or go to court to fight DirecTV.
'course, your link just goes to the CNN home page, which has nothing about WMD. Maybe I've been trolled.

Man, I wouldn't have voted for that!
And 3 days after that, we'll find that they just hijacked the signal of our MarsCam we placed in the Gobi desert.
